Wearables and Smart Devices
👩🏫 Teacher’s Guide
Objective
Students will identify wearables and smart devices, explain how they collect data, and describe safe and responsible use.
Teaching Notes
- Show examples: smart watch, fitness band, smart speaker, smart light.
- Explain sensors simply: they detect movement, sound, or heart rate.
- Discuss privacy: smart devices can collect information; ask before using.
- Use everyday examples like counting steps or turning lights on by voice.
